gorgeous!

Cool. Those are not so much "minimalist" as just being well designed logos imho. No photoshop effects necessary.
I've seen "crown" and "look" before though. "Folder" was stolen from the munky guy currently on the critique page.
Looks great!
I like more when I pay for something!

Why are you people glorifying doing nothing? Complexity is amazing! Don't you people understand whaty I'm saying? Are'nt you supposed to WORK for a living?
I would NEVER hire any of you!

The logos are largely "elegant". Just enough, not too much.
No, they are mostly empty!

Steve, chill, if we all liked the same thing the world would be a very boring place. If you don't get these logos don't bang on about it. You'll start to look unhinged!
In the words of Leonardo da Vinci "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".
Personally I like to think of these logos as classy. They show nothing that is unnecessary and everything that is essential.
As for the comment about not employing anyone who likes them. I imagine that's fine with all who have praised these logos.
I think the logo's are great. Leave everything out and you'll get the essence of the design. Those kind of logo's are communicating very well, because there is enough flashy stuff around. People looking for serenity in an over-advertised world.
I like Crown. It is simple but I like it. Maybe it is because I like its goods. Well, I've read a book about company and product names (found it at shared files SE http://filecraft.com ). For example in Canada people try to make up a name with the first letter A. It is considered that using yellow pages people start and choose the companies with letter A. But from my own experience I see that the products play the major role but not the name itself.
